Ingredients

• 1 cup Glutinous rice (sticky rice)
• 1.25 cups Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Ripe mangoes
• 0.5 teaspoon Rice flour (optional, for thickening sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly with water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.

Step 2

Drain the soaked rice and steam it using a traditional rice steamer or a colander over boiling water. Steam for about 25-30 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the rice is cooked through and tender.

Step 3

While the rice is steaming, prepare the coconut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm (do not boil).

Step 4

Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour 3/4 of the warm coconut sauce over the rice, stirring gently to ensure the rice absorbs the liquid evenly. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare the reserved coconut sauce as a topping. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut milk. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix rice flour with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry, then stir it into the coconut milk. Simmer the mixture briefly until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin, even slices or cubes, depending on your preference.

Step 7

To assemble, divide the sticky rice into servings and plate it alongside the sliced mango. Drizzle the thickened coconut sauce over the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously sweet and tropical Thai dessert!
